Default Shipping parts from Japan

Going over to Japan in a couple of weeks and hoping to visit a couple of second hand parts places like UP GARAGE

What will be the best/cheapest way to bring back parts too big for my suitcase? Might look at wheels, seats, so on

You could maybe contact an importer such as import monster etc and see if you can put it in a sea container for a small fee.

Or use EMS surface. You can send semi large items that way, and its not too expensive either compared to the air service.
